The Cure & Depeche Mode at ACL in Oct!

Update (05/09/13): While Regular 3 day passes for weekend 1 are sold out, travel packages and VIP & Platinum 3 day passes are still available. And all options are still available for weekend 2.

Update (05/08/13): Hopefully clearing this up once & for all, ACL has posted the list of bands NOT playing both weekends. Every other band is playing BOTH weekends.

Update (05/07/13): The lineup is out! The Cure & Depeche Mode!!! At the same show!!! Here's the lineup video. That's some Cure bio they put up. Ton of effort and research went into that, I'm sure. :P Apologies to ACL, as they say The Cure provided that bio. In that case, it's actually pretty funny.

Again, to be absolutely clear on this, ACL is 2 weekends. Oct. 4th -
6th & Oct. 11th - 13th. The Cure, along with most of the bands, play
2 shows, 1 each weekend. If you want to see both Cure shows, you have
to buy tix for BOTH weekends, not just 1. $225 for each weekend pass. No
single day passes. On sale now. Platinum ($3.600) and VIP ($1,050) passes are also available.

Win passes: I Heart RadioWhile not official yet (well, now it is), don't be surprised if The Cure gets confirmed fairly soon here for the Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, TX this Oct. As @Karaoklee points out "the hints page has scrambled clues in the code. The unrevealed bands are scrambled. One is "ERH TCUE." Gotta be them."

To view this for yourself, go to the Lineup hints page and View Page Source. The anagram keeps changing, but the letters are always the same, and always come out as The Cure. They are revealing some of the lineup on Dominican Joe coffee cups, Sno Beach sno-cones, The Mighty Cone ice cream, classified ads in the Austin Chronicle, Pinthouse Pizza coasters, etc, so if you're in Austin, get out there and find the official Cure clue to unlock it on the page! You need to upload a photo of it to Instagram and tag it with #ACLFEST.

And now Robert confirms
2 nights at ACL "...AND STILL MORE TO COME!!!" If one of them will be
Voodoo Fest, please announce it before I buy tickets to Austin! :)

Update (05/05/13): And there we go! The Cure are now officially confirmed for #ACLFEST on the hints page!
And now that it's confirmed, remember that tickets go on sale May 7th
at 10am. No single day tickets, only 3 day passes. $225 for each
weekend. And they are playing BOTH weekends, not just one. ACL is like
Coachella now.

The regular tickets didn't sell out that quickly. Took about 15-20 minutes, I think. The biggest problem with Lolla was their awful website that handled ticket sales. Hopefully ACL won't be as bad. And with two weekends now, your chances are doubled for getting tickets. Just have to make sure The Cure are actually playing both weekends.

And if they are, what are they doing with that week inbetween shows? They might as well play a couple of smaller shows, right? No one would object to that, would they? :)

I know I'm getting old, but jeeze I have never heard of ANY of these other bands. Seems like a weak line up for a 3 day festival both in terms of the number of bands, and a lack of better known acts. Is this it?

No. This is only a handful of the bands that they are leaking early. There are usually 150 or so bands/artists.

Muse has already confirmed themselves as headlining one day, and there are rumors of The xx, and even Depeche Mode, though I'm very skeptical about DM playing there. It does fit their US tour schedule, though, so who knows? I think I'd die if DM and The Cure both played there. :)

There is little chance DM is playing ACL. They have a concert in Athens on Saturday October 5th. Have a hard time picturing them flying to/from Austin to/from Athens.DM already has Houston and Dallas on their tour in September.

DM can't play a festival that close to their own dates round there, I'm afraid. And The xx seem too little name yet. Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins, Neil Young And Crazy Horse, Placebo, Blur, Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, System Of A Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Stone Roses, Iggy Pop And The Stooges, My Bloody Valentine, Eminen, TheKillers, The Prodigy... lots of big and very big names touring this year, so...

Happy to recognize I was ! It's because if DM's single that I love so much. Will see them in Nîmes this summer, in one of the most beautiful antic théâtre on earth. Let's have a gig of The Cure here in Europe and 2013 will ba a fantastic year with Dead Can Dance, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sophie Hunger, Björk....

Generally, the most headliners usually get at ACL is 2 hours. Some of them only get 90 minutes (Coldplay, My Morning Jacket). I wouldn't be surprised if they gave The Cure 2.5 hours, but they're not getting 3 at this festival.

Agreed. I want to attend a show or maybe two, but this requires planning for us earthbound souls who need to plan their vacations, etc. give us a break..let us join you out of planning, not desperation ...always d.

Ugh. I can't bring myself to go to this festival for the reason's you mention, Craig... I'm going to see them in Chicago with one of my best friends, who saw the Cure two night in a row with me in college. Lolla in Aug. will be difficult enough. I'll save my $$$ and time against hope that they decide to perform at least once standalone show in the U.S.

Be carefull as DM, The Cure, Muse and Kings Of Leon are on the bill... tickets may sell out in a flash. The line-up is just fantastic and Robert will want the boys to overtop the other headliners. I'm waiting for a cool picture with the 4 bands all together. And maybe cross guests on stage ?! So amazing ! And Franz Ferdinand and Phoenix and Queens Of The Stone Age and Arctic Monkeys... waow, lucky Texas.

Then Robert is a fool. LR is fantastic live. Saw him at Jazz Fest here a couple of years ago, made all sorts of jokes about him being here, and he blew me away. In most reviews he was cited as being the biggest surprise and a highlight of the show.

If he's not up against DM, The Cure, or someone else I really want to see, I will definitely be seeing his set.

That's a pretty great lineup. Ive seen kings of leon, before seeing them was not a fan, but their live show really impressed me. Muse is another great live band, I think there show is geared more towards festivals now (although their last album was awful.) Also the national are playing, i'm seeing them next week in Ithaca NY for the kickoff of their US tour, weird that they are playing Ithaca. Finally the Cure, nothing that I can say can express how amazing they are live, I saw them during curosia, which was great but was nothing compared to Toronto in 07. Out of 40+ shows, with bands ranging from U2 to Stars to David Gray, The Cure was far and away the best show I have ever been too. I'm hoping that they do some shows in NY or Toronto between festivels, I know that the band wont last forever and would love to see them one or two more times.

Thank you, Craig, for your prompt response. Do you suggest buying Austin tix, then if The Cure do announce Voodoo, we could sell our Austin tix? Any idea when they would make an announcement on Voodoo?

Yeah i thought it suss too Craig. (no more dates for the year etc). I guess, RS way ov being polite and not giving away any hints ov when they will tour Oz next. My money is on them playing Big Day Out next year (now that BDO is linked to C3 - ie. lollapalooza )and with BDO looking to re-establish (see article below) - who better to Headline than 'The Cure'

recently , we been colaborate ona tribute to the cure named :INTO THE TREES; one saturday a go, VENENO PARA LAS HADAS played the lovecats in the release party gig, so here is the link to see that act http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE3zfFVl7oo, please giv us your oppinion of the how Mexico plays THE CURE!

The Cure covering "Walking In My Shoes" on stage ? Robert singing with Dave a Cure song during DM set ? Exciting to think that both bands are together for a whole week. Think they still appreciate each other, so... who knows what can happen.

Saw DM last week in Nimes and it was one of my best gig ever. They're really good live. A perfect sparing partner for The Cure. Lucky Texas !
